Interesting fact: The Finnish "SA" stamp was first used in 1941. It was continued to be in use up until 1956 when the "castle" stamp was applied to army items.  It is possible, and quite probable, to find items that look wartime, have the SA stamp, but were made and used in the mid '50s.  If you have a question about an item, contact me. There are lots of collectors that belong to the KevOs4 group who can find an answer for you.
